Yes, but....I would say that Kallyr and Queen Leika would also know the Allfather Affinity as well. There is no rule that says you can't have more than 3 affinities (although I stand to be corrected). kallyr herself I would also say is well capable of *breaking the rules*.

IMO OiD has Kallyr *wrong*. FWIW if I wrote her, then a Tribal King Vingan player in a game I ran would get Allfather, Making and Dar. Otherwise she will be inferior to a man as tribal king and that would not appeal to the practical Orlanthi methinks. Storm Tribe P.173 - 'Only women worship Vinga, who gives them access to Orlanths magic.'

Vinga is the female expression of Orlanth I think, and can do all the things a man can. She is also considered a man in some respects and trains with the fyrd.

However, I think that as a tribal king Kallyr is inactive. Following Govoran's tale in Thunder Rebels, Page 71 - 73. I think she would be most likely sporting Combat, Movement and Vigilance. She is operating as *Adventurous* not as *Allfather*.

Just a few thoughts. But to be honest, we had quite a lot of Kallyr in our game, and most of it was talking/ roleplaying where *what she had* never really came up. When the Lunars almost breached Whitewall several weeks after the Crimson Bat, I had her fly as well. Only *I* knew she doesn't have flight per se as she is written, but it worked well in the game.
